For the past several years the Museum has been working on a photo preservation project, in which all of the original photographs in the Museum's collection are scanned into a computerized database.  In addition to the database itself, a CD-ROM archive and hard copies are being created. Currently (as of 2010) we have scanned approximately 13,300 photographs out of the estimated 15,000 in the collection.  Additional volunteers are always welcome to speed up this effort.  Contact Research Curator Holly Hoods if you are interested in this activity.

The Museum’s photograph collection is available to the public for research, educational and professional use. Please see the Research Section for details on reproducing and using photographs.

We deeply appreciate the City of Healdsburg for funding a new storage cabinet designed and built to better house our paintings, framed photos and other similar objects.  Collections Manager, Meredith Dreisbeck, has shifted the relevant objects into the new cabinet, with proper archival protective materials placed to further protect them.  The new cabinet has been installed within our first floor storage room at the Museum.
